Gowator Posted June 2, 2003 Report Share Posted June 2, 2003 its a good thing to check the latecy timings on the chips. Perhaps you are skipping a cycle on some of the RAM and only hitting 1/3 or something. Try with the 32 and then the other 64. Do you have a detect ram timing utility in bios. You might find out that the clock speed for the two is incompatible or that the EDO is not synching in the return mode. (Im presuming its 72 pin stuff). The last number on the chip probably gives its timing if its the older 72pin EDO. -25 etc indicting 25ms latency. Its sometimes difficult to get the magnitude because -2 on a new chip could mean that wheras it could mean -20 on an older one. I remember when the first EDO came out is was around -80 .... You might want to consider leaving the box alone if you have another computer to play with, they can end up being endless money pits. Of course if you enjoy fiddling go ahead.... Alternative solutions are turning it into a router/NFS server/...... In the past Ive had incompatibilites for the same RAM in terms of specs but with different chip configs etc. Older RAM can be really testy..... How about new post ... what do I doi with my ..... Oh Im off to post now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
